Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 55 of the 89 other affiliate and referral tools we grade
LinkTrust is a performance marketing platform for agencies, affiliate networks, advertisers and publishers. It has three product areas: tracking and attribution for CPA, CPC, CPL and CPI campaigns, lead management and distribution, and a contextual-ad monetization product. Plans are quoted by proposal.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about LinkTrust, taken from its own pages and our grades.

The report card
Best for affiliate tracking plus lead routing
LinkTrust tracks clicks and conversions for CPA, CPL and CPC campaigns and also routes leads to buyers. But no price is published, the entry plan is 1 campaign, 1,000 clicks a month and 3 affiliates, and the white label portal and API sit in a dearer Advanced set.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No prices are published: plans depend on clicks or leads and a Standard or Advanced set, and are quoted by proposal, so it sits in the middle by default. |
| Free plan and trial | D | A free trial is offered, but its length and whether it needs a card are not stated. |
| Features | B | Tracking, caps, sub-IDs, fraud scoring, lead routing and call tracking links cover the core job. The entry plan is small, and API and white label are Advanced. |
| Ease of use | C | A web app with pixels, postbacks and campaigns to build before it earns anything. No store rating is on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with TrustedForm, Invoca, DialogTech, Velocify and fraud-screening links, plus reporting and affiliate APIs on the Advanced set. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who LinkTrust is for
- Fits if you run lead generation in finance, education or health and need routing as well as tracking
- Works for agencies that want one tool for tracking and lead distribution
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you need a price before talking to anyone, as plans are quoted by proposal
- Tight if you stay on the entry plan: 1 campaign, 1,000 clicks a month and 3 affiliates, with email support only
- Watch out: API access, white label and enhanced fraud screening are Advanced only
- Watch out: the free trial has no stated length, and the footer shows 2024 against a 2026 blog post

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace LinkTrust you would be making payouts to partners in many countries, with their tax forms. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Payouts to partners in many countries, with their tax forms.
- Phone numbers that change for each visitor so every call is traced to its source.
- Every click and sale traced back to the right partner.
- It plugs into other products, IP Quality Score, Anura and TrustedForm among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. LinkTrust’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
